Which status and role emotions have in the universal ethics which supposes the claim of the norm's universality? It seems that the universal ethics regards emotions as secondary or excludes, for it is based on rationality in justifying the norm. Also emotional bonds seem to be in conflict with value of equality and justice which the universal ethics claims. This thesis aims at illuminating the relation between the universal ethics and emotion in terms of moral feeling 'respect' in Kant ethics and its effect on comtemporary practical philosophy. Kant thought "respect for the law" as incentive for moral conduct. That is, respect is the moral psychological theme in Kant ethics. Kant discusses respect as moral feeling in Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals and Critique of Practical Reason. In these works, Respect is discussed as the consciousness of the moral law and the moral attitude on the one hand, and as emotion analogous to affect as pathological emotion like pleasure and pain on the other hand. Both sides of Kantian respect arouse a dispute between intellectual and affective interpretation. This thesis advocates intellectual interpretation of respect and illuminates the status and role of emotion in Tugendhat's universal respect ethic and Honneth's ethics of recognition. Tugendhat starts with moral feeling ― anger, remorse, guilty ― and Honneth emphasizes love and emotional bonds, they criticize modern subject philosophy and a priori foundationalism which support Kantian ethics. But it seems that they are not free from the project of Kantian universal ethics.
